THE SANDPIPER SET.





Going through my photo library a couple of days ago,I was surprised at how many different species of Sandpiper I had photographed over the last few years.
Now I think these are beautiful birds as there is something elegant about them, so I have put together this set of some of the best, I have seen a few other species but sadly no images.
The Spotted Sandpiper was one of my rare attempts at Digi-scoping.

CURLEW SANDPIPER.




PECTORAL SANDPIPER.
